RoCo-ACE: Rollout-Conditioned Online Distillation for Retention-Aware Knowledge Injection
Short summary
RoCo-ACE introduces a rollout-conditioned online distillation objective for injecting new knowledge into pretrained multimodal LLMs while minimizing drift in existing behavior. RoCo reallocates distillation weight to reference-supported rollout tokens using likelihood contrast, while ACE adds sparse correction for authoritative facts omitted from rollouts. Across multiple settings and base models, RoCo-ACE achieves best injected-knowledge accuracy while keeping retention close to the base model.
- •RoCo-ACE is a distillation objective for knowledge injection that minimizes behavioral drift
- •RoCo reweights reference-supported tokens; ACE corrects omitted authoritative facts
- •Best injected-knowledge accuracy across multiple settings while retaining base model behavior
